Seriously, I can’t believe I considered not mentioning the fact that I’m on vacation on this here blog. But I’m thowing caution to the wind and telling you all – I’M ON VACATION!!

As I type, I’m sitting on a screened porch facing the lake water (which might I add is about two feet away from me right now) with a diet coke to my right and a slight breeze in my hair. It.is.heaven. Today has been the best day so far so I spent all day outside. Literally, when I came back inside for dinner, my eyes took an hour to adjust to the fact that I’m no longer in the sun. Amazing. This is really what we needed. In a little under a month from now we will be celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary and that is the last time we took a true vacation.

Oh yeah! And today I kayaked for the first time! For real! It was amazing. Well, sort of. My husband got the broken paddle so just as I was getting the hang of it we had to come back to shore because it was becoming very difficult. I may consider trying the solo kayak one of these remaining days of vacation. And luckily, my in-laws still own a couple of kayaks so when we get home we can still go kayaking!

And I’ve pretty much been in the lake every day so far. It feels wonderful, especially after being in the sun for a while. While it’s not humid and scorching as it has been at home, that sun gets pretty darn hot.

Did I mention I’ve been up since 5:30 this morning? Because I have. My husband and I went fishing with my parents this morning in their boat (oh yeah, we rented this kick ass house that could easily sleep 8 more people but it’s just me and hubby and my parents and my brother and his girlfriend – pictures coming next week!). The thought of a nap did cross my mind but I was enjoying the sunshine and time to read and enjoy family and twisted teas, and cool lake waters much too much. I will probably sleep like a baby tonight. Which is just as well since I’m planning on getting up early again and hitting the farmer’s market. :)

Life is pretty darn good right now. I spent today (Tuesday) in my swim suit – how did you spend yours? :)
